The Regenerator and the Stirling Engine by Allan J. Organ, ISBN 1-86058-010-6 , 1997, PSU library.

You definetely want the 1997 edition. This is a pretty good book if you are interested in getting design details of existing engines and scaling laws which allow you to derive new engine designs based on existing ones. It offers little in terms of new solutions to conquer the heat transfer problems or optimizing existing engines for better efficiency.

Thermodynamics & Gas Dynamics of the Stirling Cycle machine by Allan J. Organ , ISBN 0-521-41363-X , TJ 765 O74 1992.

Still reading it.

Convective Heat and mass Transfer by Kays/Crawford/Weigand, ISBN 0-07-246876-9 , 4th edition , QC 327.K37 2005

This is a pretty good undergraduate text book containing also some good empirical equations.

Compact heat Exchangers by Kays and London , ISBN 1-57524-060-2 , TJ 263.K35 1998

If you ever need to see experimental data and derived equations, this it the book to have. ( and I own a copy )
